How likely is it we are getting Butt Sliders after this 2B Butt thing?

No, this isn’t a troll thread, lol. I’m genuinely curious though, because I’ve seen people in a few discord servers talking about it, and thinking it might get added because Yoshida will see how well received the 2B Butt item is. Which will make him more motivated to work on one.

We all know they touched on butt sliders in the past at a previous live letter. Source: https://www.ricedigital.co.uk/ffxiv-...producer-live/

He says:


Q: Are there more choices for character creation planned? Bum slider etc.

A: Not currently. In addition to this being a burden to the graphics team, we also want to reduce the stress on the server. You guys really want the butt slider? Because your gear will get bigger and the textures will stretch out. It’s a bit too difficult to get right, but it seems like, for some reason, this is something that people want…

There was also another source that said he would talk to the graphics team about it.

I just want to know how likely you think it is to happen now. I’m going to go out in a limb and say 6.0? It’s a good thing because, it means they are more likely to work further on character customization. Such as new faces. (Hoping for that a lot)

Zero.

0.

It's more likely that we'll get clothing that will alter the shape of the bodies much like 2b's panties do. Otherwise it would be a COMPLETE overhaul of both character creation AND the gear itself because trying to stretch polygons can cause weird graphical glitches that would have to be worked out by hand for each piece of gear for every race allowed to have the slider.

I agree. This is much more likely to happen.

+1 to additional butt enhancing equipment being added. Butt sliders would be far more difficult for SE as a whole. If they can isolate it to a single item for all body types, that simplifies things for them exponentially.

I wish the 2b thing gave guys an actual butt instead of a hank hill butt.
*Sigh*

Very unlikely. It'd either be a full mesh change, aka just a bigger bootie, or nothing at all. They've stated in the past changing anything in the chara gen was like pulling teeth so we're unlikely to see a whole new slider be added without some kind of overhaul.

There are no chances for it.

Short of a complete revamp of the character creator (and lol at SE putting the budget and resources into that), zero.

I'd expect more customization options like tattoos and facial options eventually, but anything that alters the shape of a character is likely a pipedream in my opinion. The best we can hope for is what they did with the 2b outfit: gear with custom meshes.

they cant even manage to give viera existing hairstyles or hats, if someone has hope for actual butt sliders (meaning change of whole races and gear) i hope you are ready to be disappointed.

None. Stop asking for it.

Nobody is going to arbitrarily “stop asking” for things on a forum. Like, what.

Zero. It is never happening. It is alot harder to implement in a system that has been being used for several years. You would have to rebuild the entire system from scratch, and I highly doubt they will have time to do that. At that point, it's a more efficient use of time to be working on FFXVI or FFXVII.

To quote Eeyore, "It's not much of a 'tail' but I'm sort of attached to it." I've tried on the 2b pants when I see other people with them and the backside looks strange and alien on my character, and a little droopy. I wish we had similar pants that keep our ow... I'm mean, our character's, natural butt. :D A high cut, not so "thongy" panty without stockings, that meets at the top with most tops would be good.

I don't personally want a bigger butt, but I think it would be good to have more options. I think we are more likely to get a "Butt Selector". I call it "the three-butt solution". I assume people who want bigger butts want clothing that reflects it. A slider means having clothing that adjusts with 100 different settings. I propose adding 2 slightly more voluptuous butts. Does anyone want a flatter one? Still a lot of work to implement but probably less than a slider.

If they added the option, and gave us a free fantasia, I might try a new rear on for size. I think I would prefer my character be a tiny bit thicker all around.

For female characters only, maybe. They’re too afraid of men, imo. The 2B piece doesn’t enhance their butts in the slightest.

Like I said, it devolves the butt. Guys butt is actually bigger if you're wearing nothing at all. Instead we get Hank Hill'ed.

Anyway I doubt sliders, but probably certain gear can work, instead of remodeling who knows how many sets.

People don't seem to get that your character doesn't really "wear" gear so much as that gear just replaces a part of your character's body.

That's why 2B (I haven't seen the other raid drop legs yet) gives your character a bigger butt ... it's a new, higher poly butt and leg mesh that your character uses. To make a "butt slider" they would have to change ever leg gear to look right at a bigger butt setting.

Also this isn't new. There are certain tops that give you bigger breast like original Minfilia dress and even the 2B dress gives your character a higher, thinner waist. (Looks great on Femroe)

I'm just hoping to get some nice shorts and such using the 2B butt in the future.

partially true, quite a bit of gear changes with bust size. A request for an actual butt size change includes a request that gear changes as well. The devs understand this since they mentioned stretching textures.
